Yeah, it would be a massive volunteer operation. Just throwing out ideas so 
we can voice opinions and such :) We can only do what we can do. There are 
a lot of options that the group has though and it would be a shame to see 
everything fall on just a few people. We'd definitely need the support of 
many people in the group as well as support from people in the community.

I totally agree with this. More information could be collected and posted 
on the site so that it's not a huge burden on the gurus in the group. I did 
some research before ever posting to this group, but I found most Linux 
sites just hit me with too much information that I didn't really 
understand. I'm sure I'll understand one day - but to start out with it was 
overwhelming.

So how do we get all this started? ;)
